What is the slope of a line perpendicular to y = 8 - 2/7x?

The slope of the current line is -2/7. To find the slope of the line perpendicular to it, find the negative reciprocal of the slope. So it would be 7/2. The y intercept or the b would remain the same so the equation would be y=7/2x+8. Hope this helps.

Answer:

The slope of this line would be 7/2

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find this, you need to know that perpendicular lines have opposite and reciprocal slopes. This means we take the slope of the original line (-2/7) and change the sign to get 2/7. Now we flip the fraction to get 7/2, which would be your new slope.

umka2103 [35]
Let n be the amount of time it takes william to cut the lawn. Then Shelly takes
n-2 hours. So:
1/n+1/n-2=1/3
3(n-2)+3n=n²-2n
6n-6=n²-2n
n²-8n+6=0
Using the quadratic formula, we get a positive value of 7.1623 hrs as the amount of time william takes working alone, and 5.1623 as the amount  of time Shelly takes working alone

Find the area of the trapezoid
Alexandra [31]

Answer:

\sf area \  of \ trapezoid \ =375 \ mm^2

Explanation:

\sf area \  of \ trapezoid \ = \dfrac{1}{2} * ( base \  1 + base \ 2 ) * height

using the formula:

\sf area \  of \ trapezoid \ = \dfrac{1}{2} * ( 14+ 36 ) * 15

\sf area \  of \ trapezoid \ = \dfrac{1}{2} * ( 50 ) * 15

\sf area \  of \ trapezoid \ =25 * 15

\sf area \  of \ trapezoid \ =375 \ mm^2
